Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
A remembered romance unfolds through wishing wells, candlelight and a river running south, then sharpens into the danger of lovers on the run. Between hidden weapons and uncertain escape, a single look restores the narrator's sense of color and possibility, drawing him back toward companionship that might outlast the chase.

Lyrics
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr
A MOMENT OUT OF TIME There was a time I remember so well When we walked Hand in Hand by the old wishing well Lost in the Romance with our lives on the line Spirits are Dancing in 3/4 Time Out past the Moon, where the Sun never shines We are both swept Away in a tunnel of light Candles are burning with warm firelight My heart is yearning, won't you stay tonight? A Pot of Gold lies at the end of the Rainbow See how she flies now, wherever She goes Will o’ the Wisp and The Wind in the Willows A soft, gentle kiss and the Name of the Rose Look at the river and see where she goes It flows from California down to Mexico With carbonite, perlite, all set to explode We'll say Goodnight by the side of the Road A warning to anyone who gets in our way We've cleaned all our Guns, and they're hidden away We've been on the Run long before Yesterday And all that we've done to make our Getaway Under the Gun in 101 ways Run from the Sun at the End of the Day They always keep saying that Love finds a way I don't know what Love is, it should all go away The way that you looked at me swept me away And all of my Colors came back from the Gray I cannot Believe the state I was in Casting my Dreams out upon the 4 Winds That was the time that they came back again Forever my lover and always my friend We'll stay together right up to the end Through the Royal Cascades through the next Riverbend ********
